A total of 443.1 new cases per day, on average, were diagnosed over the same period. For the week of July 27 to August 2, that number climbs to 530.9, Sciensano said in Thursday’s dashboard data update. The total number of Sars-CoV-2 infections identified in the territory is now 71,158, or 510 more than Wednesday morning.
The average daily death rate also continues to rise slightly, to three fatal cases for each day of the past week (+ 31% compared to the previous count period). Sciensano indicates, as yesterday, a total of 9,852 victims of the coronavirus in Plat pays.
The average number of hospital admissions is 24 per day (+ 35%) over the same period of time, for a total of 18,359 since the start of the epidemic.
In many municipalities, the number of Covid-19 cases continues to climb. And in some of them, the famous “alarm threshold” (20 new contaminations per 100,000 inhabitants in one week) has even been reached or exceeded. Be careful therefore that this “alarm threshold” should be put into perspective in some municipalities, the smallest of them can indeed quickly exceed it with a single case.
This Thursday, August 6, 211 municipalities have exceeded the “alarm threshold”according to the latest consolidated data from Sciensano. Check in the map below if your municipality is part of it (the “Cumulative Incidence” will therefore be greater than or equal to 20).
Finally, here is the map and the table showing the number of cases reported in your town yesterday, since the start of phase 3 of deconfinement (June 8) and since the start of the epidemic.
